Editor's Note

November

Any user of WeChat or Facebook will tell you that it often seems like a repeating reel.

People post variations on the same theme again and again, almost as though they are trying to reaffirm their normalcy by locating their photos squarely in the realm of the average. This is particularly true for snapshots of China life, with the same (admittedly sometimes striking) images occurring repeatedly, reinforcing a narrow view of the country and its peculiarities.

For those of us who have lived a while in Zhongguo, it’s become automatic to distinguish between what is truly unusual and what is merely the same old dross with a new filter slapped on top. But for people abroad or those who are new arrivals, it’s easy to develop tunnel vision, seeing only a fraction of the cultural uniqueness that is on display daily.

This month’s cover story is dedicated to widening perspectives through the inspiring photography of Eyes on China. An Instagram account started by photojournalists, its aim is to go beyond kitschy communist memorabilia and orientalist cliche to delve into the rich diversity of human experience. Whether the subject is living in an urban village engulfed by skyscrapers at the center of Guangzhou or gathering cordyceps in the farflung province of Qinghai, the pictures of Eyes on China simply but poignantly capture the enormous spectrum of peoples and lives that make up the world’s most populous nation (p42).

Lest we be guilty of focusing solely on the citizens of China, we’ve also got a gorgeous travel story on one of the country’s most legendary locales: Shangri-La. Turn to p30 for towering snow-capped summits, tiny villages cozily ensconced in wide valleys and Tibetan Buddhism ritual.

While the scenery may strike you as nearly unreal, it’s not quite as fantastical as this month’s city feature, which looks at five (possibly real) beasts that are said to inhabit the Middle Kingdom's mountains and oceans, including sea monsters, flying serpents and China’s answer to bigfoot (p12).

There are all kinds of fun events taking place in the PRD this month, from an electronic music festival featuring DJs Afrojack and Kaskade (p36) to a gothic comedy play based on Frankenstein (p38).

For foodies, however, there’s just one essential November soiree: the That’s PRD Food and Drinks Awards, taking place on November 12 at the Futian Shangri-La in Shenzhen and November 17 at the Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich. (Incidentally, the latter is also hosting their Star Chefs extravaganza in December, gifting gourmands a second opportunity to decadently indulge their senses.)

See you there!

he drive to make the city more environmentally friendly takes many forms. But recent news suggests that the authorities have been thinking outside the box – or casket, rather.

Last month, the government announced plans to ensure that at least half of its deceased citizens have ‘ecofriendly’ funerals by 2020 in an effort to save space and reduce the environmental impact of scattered ashes.

To help spread the message, first-tier cities' districts with cemeteries were asked to build a ‘green cemetery’ for show and instructed to turn traditional resting places into eco-conscious ones. In the capital alone, more than 30 currently offer environmentally friendly funerals.

So what exactly does that mean?

Examples of ‘green burials’ include interring a deceased loved one’s ashes under a tree or in a flowerbed, or spreading them in the sea. Another suggested method is to use dissolvable urns, which have been offered in Tianjin since 2012.

8 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

But despite the alleged environmental benefits, the eco-funeral faces resistance. This is due, in part, to ingrained cultural habits that see taking care of the dearly departed’s remains as a sign of love and respect.

In the past, traditional graves (involving a plot of earth and a headstone) were the preferred method, as many in China believe this brings peace to the deceased. There is of course an entire festival (Qingming) dedicated to the sweeping of ancestors' tombs.

As such, the government’s goal to increase eco-friendly burials is undoubtedly a little green around the edges and still in its early stages. But there are positive signs.

Since opening the environmental packages in August, authorities at Beijing's Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery say they have received nearly 100 applications so far. But bearing in mind that nine million people die across China every year, there’s some way to go before there’s a green life after death.

Sayings about Travel Destinations Finally autumn has arrived, the best season for travel. China is a beautiful country full of historical, scenic places, so this month, we will illustrate Chinese sayings about famous travel destinations. 不到长城非好汉 bú dào chánɡchénɡ fēi hǎohàn: ‘He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.’ Excerpted from one of Mao Zedong’s poems, this saying has impelled many Chinese people to climb the man-made wonder to prove themselves.

Today it serves as a motivator for runners to compete in the Great Wall Marathon. 桂林山水甲天下 guìlín shānshuǐ jiǎ tiānxià: ‘East or west, Guilin scenery is best.’ Guilin is considered one of China’s most picturesque regions, famous for its unique karst mountains and the charming Li River. 上有天堂, 下有苏杭 shànɡ yǒu tiāntánɡ, xià yǒu sū hánɡ: ‘Up in heaven there is paradise, down below, Suzhou and Hangzhou.’ Both close to Shanghai, the cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou are well known for the natural vistas that harmonize with many famous historical and cultural sites. West Lake in Hangzhou and the Suzhou Gardens are highly recommended for visitors.

Have you been to all the places mentioned? If the answer is no, why not find out yourself if they really live up to their reputation? It’s time to hit the road.

The price of the cheapest cocktail in New York’s first “baijiu bar,” Lumos NYC, in bohemian mecca Greenwich Village. The sixth-monthold drinking establishment also serves house-infused baijius flavored with prune, fig or Sichuan pepper at USD12 a shot or a 9-ounce bottle for USD90. Eye-watering stuff. China’s fiery grain liquor and banquet hangover harbinger is the Big Apple’s new ‘it’ spirit, reports the Wall Street Journal, cropping up in craft cocktails around town. Industry insiders say the government crackdown on corruption has pushed baijiu producers to search for new markets. We say it’s because the Chinese invented hipsterism.

The history of human migration is being rewritten after a trove of ancient teeth was unearthed in Hunan. The discovery indicates that the first humans to leave Africa settled in China some 80,000 to 120,000 years ago – challenging the widespread assumption that homo sapiens arrived in Europe about 60,000 years ago before migrating to Asia. Archeologist Maria Martinon-Torres gives two possible explanations for the route: firstly, competition from Neanderthals may have prevented our ancestors from settling in Europe; secondly, these proto expats were drawn to Asia by the warmer climate.

After living quietly in near obscurity for decades, 84-yearold Tu Youyou was last month awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering artemisinin, an anti-malarial compound that is estimated to have saved millions of lives.

China’s first-ever Nobel laureate in a scientific discipline, Tu has been dubbed “the three withouts scientist” – she lacks a post-graduate degree, overseas research experience and membership in the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Born in Ningbo in 1930, Tu studied pharmacology in Beijing in the 1950s and, under orders from Chairman Mao, conducted her groundbreaking research during the height of the Cultural Revolution as part of a secret military unit tasked with finding a cure for malaria.

While reviewing a number of texts, Tu and her team found a promising text titled ‘Emergency Prescriptions Kept Up One’s Sleeve,’ which contained a treatment for fever using Artemisia annua, or sweet wormwood. After initial trials on mice failed, Tu devised a lower temperature extraction technique for the wormwood, which proved 100 percent effective on mice, monkeys and, later, humans.

Tu published her findings anonymously in 1977, after the Cultural Revolution had subsided. Although Tu’s discovery came from ancient Chinese pharmacopeia, the Nobel committee said it was honoring Tu for using modern scientific procedures to create the life-saving drug.

A Chinese Bestiary Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them

by Matthew Bossons, artwork by Macus Ma and Tawaka Jiang

A

lmost every region of the world has a cryptid that haunts the backwoods of civilization. North America has the hairy and elusive Sasquatch, the United Kingdom has the Loch Ness monster (Nessie) and Latin America has the chupacabra. For those unfamiliar with the term, a cryptid is an animal, plant or being whose presumptive existence is regularly derided for using anecdotal evidence deemed insufficient by the mainstream scientific community. This evidence often comes in the form of questionable footprints, tufts of hair and/or grainy black-and-white photographs. Most foreigners living in China will be familiar with at least one of the above-mentioned cryptids, but are probably in the dark when it comes to China’s assortment of mysterious organisms. To help bring you up to speed on the Middle Kingdom’s answers to mermaids and yetis, we have assembled a list of five of our favorites.

1 2 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

Sky serpents One of the more mysterious entries on our list, sky serpents are long, snake-like creatures that appear to drift or slither through the air. Although different than dragons (most notably for their lack of wings), some sky serpents have been rumored to unleash fire and, in some cases, lightning.

These floating oddities are not just limited to China and have also been spotted in other regions of the world (because, you know, they can fly), including North America.

Xing-xing The xing-xing is said to resemble an orangutan and, much like the yeren (see p16), it is often compared to Sasquatch.

Online cryptid forums have a wide array of suggested sizes for the xing-xing, with some claiming it is a small primate and others suggesting it can grow to a height of 10 feet.

The xing-xing supposedly lives in the Himalayan Mountains, meaning it shares territory with another famous cryptid: the yeti.

It should be noted that the xing-xing of the Himalayas also shares its name with a Japanese mythological sea creature known for its love of alcohol. w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m | S Z | n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | 1 3

Jinmenju No good cryptid roundup is complete without a mysterious plant, and the Jinmenju is exactly that. Alleged to grow in southern China, this human-tree hybrid is said to bud smiling human heads for fruit. The seeds of these fruit are also supposed to resemble grinning faces. By some accounts, when the face fruit ripens, it is edible and has a sweet-and-sour taste.

In earlier times, it is said the trees were plentiful and, in some instances, farmed. Thus, the landscape was abuzz with the laughter of a thousand happy heads.

Guai wu First sighted in 1903, this alleged lake beast (or possibly beasts) is China’s answer to Scotland’s Loch Ness monster.

The guai wu are said to live in Tianchi Lake, in China’s northern province of Jilin.

Descriptions vary greatly, but most witnesses describe seeing a large aquatic animal with a head that resembles a seal.

In 2007, a Chinese TV reporter claimed to have witnessed six of the species playing on the lake surface; he described them as having fins or wings that were “longer than their bodies.” It is unclear if this video ever surfaced.

Yeren Sometimes referred to as the yiren, Chinese wildman or man-monkey, the yeren is a hominid-like creature alleged to be living in the mountainous and heavily forested regions of Hubei province.

Similar to the North American bigfoot, it is generally described as being notably larger than a human and sporting a thick coat of grey or red (or both) fur.

The first ‘scientific’ sighting, according to numerous cryptid forums, was made in 1940

by Wang Zelin, a biologist educated in Chicago.

Wang was part of a group that stumbled across a recently shot female yeren while traveling between Jiangluo City and Niangniang Plain, and he described it as looking very similar to the plaster model of a female Chinese Homo erectus (Peking man).

Street Barber

Serving 14 to Life

by Ziyi Yuan

E

very weekday at 4pm, students rush out of the International School of Nanshan Shenzhen. They bike past a quiet road on their way home to parents and homework, most not noticing the street or its tree with a small sign nailed to the trunk.

Written in Chinese characters, the sign reads: “haircut RMB7, haircut and face shave RMB9, face shave RMB3.” Zhang Disheng, the street barber, stands cutting his customers’ locks nearby.

Every day from 7am to 6pm, the 66-yearold Guangdong native from Meishan can be found clipping split ends underneath the shade of the tree. Most men his age in China are enjoying their retirement, but Zhang does not have that luxury. When asked about his unconventional work, he says he does this job to help his family overcome financial difficulties. “It may put my family in trouble if I don't do this job,” he tells us while shearing a soldier’s hair.

Zhang has worked on quiet Kangyuan Lu, in Nanshan District, for more than four years. Though its a tough job in which he

1 8 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

must stand for most of the day, there are few options available for men his age in China.

“They probably will not hire a man over 60 as a cleaner or waiter,” he says. “I have no choice except this.”

Yet Zhang is seasoned in the position, beginning his barber career at age 14. He’s created a simple routine for himself over the years, rising every morning at 6am and manning his post from 7am to 6pm. He has no weekends or holidays with the exception of days with bad weather.

His station seems fairly professional, considering it’s on the street. There are chairs, a bucket with newspapers and reading glasses for those waiting for a trim.

Zhang orders most of his tools from Taobao or buys them at the local supermarket.

Though not high quality, he says they suffice in helping him accomplish his tasks.

His regular customers are nearby residents and soldiers stationed in the area. Also, foreigners visit his post sometimes. “Not everyone needs a haircut every day,” Zhang says, confiding that sometimes he only makes

around RMB30-40 in a 24-hour period.

This can put strain on his family, whom he lives with nearby, not far from the Taoyuan metro station. Their rent is RMB3,000 a month, a doable yet difficult amount for them to muster up each time.

Zhang’s wife stays at home to take care of their grandchild, and his son and daughterin-law work during the week.

At the day’s end, Zhang sweeps up his post and packs up his equipment. As a final thought before leaving, he says, “I will not quit this job until the day I die.” He then shuffles off home to his family, leaving Kangyuan Lu until 7am the next morning.

Bicycle Race

Panning the City’s Cyclists

by Don Seno

W

hen I’m out on the streets of Guangzhou at night before or after work, and there is time to spare to shoot, I’m always on the lookout for a place with good light, waiting like a predator stalking my prey: cyclists.

Panning is a technique in photography that involves following a fast-moving subject accurately while using a relatively slow shutter speed, resulting in a sharp subject while keeping the background blurry, with streaks that convey movement and speed. It’s a technique that many find too difficult to do but is one that I was able to be proficient at quickly. It requires steady hands, good body movement and lots of patience.

Bicycle riders are my favorite to shoot since everyone has their own character and story. Some are in a rush to go home after a day’s work, looking spent and tired. Some are just about to go to work, running late. And some are just leisurely riding about, looking relaxed.

Drink Chinese Herbs, Win the Nobel Prize

Most months when I’m writing about Chinese medicine, I usually lean towards discussions about acupuncture. I feel I have been neglecting herbal medicine, and this simply isn’t fair.

It’s time to even the score.

Chinese herbal medicine is just as old as acupuncture, and both use the same underlying theories of health and illness. The difference is that acupuncture is a regulating treatment that gets your body to heal itself, whereas herbs directly cause healing changes inside your body. I use acupuncture for pain and other problems that come from stagnaFitness

Strong is the New Skinny Why women are the stronger species… I’m kidding! Don’t stress, guys, I know you’re all as buff as they come. But the trend sweeping the world right now is strong women. You see it everywhere, right? “Strong is the new skinny,” with a picture of a woman lifting a weight over her head, muscles a-blazing and a determined look on her face. Whether you’re paying attention or not, women are striving for body beauty that no longer focuses on the kind of waif-like figures we used to be bombarded with in every magazine.

Personally, I’m extremely happy about it. As a trainer and wellness coach, I focus on having all-around health and fitness, and I know that strength has been overlooked for too long when it comes to women. People still fear that a female lifting a weight will result in her turning into the Hulk. Um, not so much.

Strength training results in a good physique inside and out, but women’s bodies are not like men’s bodies. Our hormones are different. Men have very high levels of testosterone, which is the main building block needed to grow big, bulky muscles through weight lifting. The lack of this hormone in women means our bodies respond in a different way.

tion; when someone has to be nourished and built up from the inside, I give them herbs.

To clarify, when I use the word ‘herb’ I mean any naturally occurring substance that has medicinal use. Most Chinese herbs are plant based, some are from animals and a few are minerals – and there are thousands.

In Chinese medicine, each herb is categorized by temperature, flavor and which of the 12 energy pathways or organs it affects.

Temperature includes cold, cool, neutral, warm and hot, with gypsum being one of the coldest herbs and aconite being one of the hottest. The five flavors include sweet, bitter, sour, salty and acrid. Each flavor has a distinct therapeutic effect. Sweet herbs, for example, have a nourishing, harmonizing and moistening effect while bitter herbs are drying, purgative and have a downward-moving nature.

I often wonder about the pioneering herbalists who, over the past 2,000 years, experimented to discover the characteristics and effects of each plant. Even in modern times, the experimentation continues. In the 1970s, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou put herself forward to be the first human test subject for an extract of wormwood that she hoped could be used to create a drug to treat malaria.

Sure, she had tested it on animals first, and sure, she got the idea from Chinese mediThis body response to weight training has great health benefits. Women typically don’t turn green or start smashing things when we strength train, and our muscles don’t become beefy in the same way as the Hulk’s either. But those muscles definitely become stronger and more toned. Stronger muscles support our frames better, leading to decreased pressure on our joints and making us less prone to injury in and out of the gym. They also increase bone density, so our bones will be less brittle as we age. And when your muscles are toned your metabolism kicks up, so you burn calories more quickly, helping your body become a lean powerhouse.

Check out the strongest women in fitness.

Jillian Michaels, Ronda Rousey, Li Na and other fitness icons all do strength training. They push their bodies to the next level of performance. If we’re not getting better, we are staying the same, and it’s not often I have met someone who wants to stay the same. Guy or girl, you want to be stronger, right? You want to run faster and not pull a hamstring when you bust out a sprint! So get to it, get training: bodyweight exercise, free-weights, CrossFit, boot camp or a gym, any gym.

Seek out your next program now, and make sure it involves strength training. Set some short-term goals for four, eight and 12 weeks. Every month, you should see change.

cal texts that date back to the fourth century AD, but nonetheless she took a risk. It turned out to be safe and effective. Just this month she won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her work.

Tu Youyou was using Western medical methods to break a single herb down to its chemical components, but in Chinese medicine herbs are given as a formula that combines multiple items with complementary effects. This allows the doctor to treat complex problems while minimizing side effects.

Herbs are given in their raw form – think twigs, roots and leaves. To prepare them, they have to be soaked and then boiled in water for about 30 minutes, before straining out the remaining liquid for drinking. This is done twice to produce two doses a day.

Not very convenient is it? Never fear! Your local pharmacy will do the boiling and straining for you and then vacuum seal the herbal liquid into single doses for you to take. You just have to drink them. They don’t taste great but they work – so think of Tu Youyou and suck it up.

Daytripper

Journey of One Thousand Steps In China, climbing a mountain often comes at the exhausting price of steps, straight up, for miles on end. Whereas winding switchbacks distinguish trails in the West, the East has historically erected grand staircases – an expression of the culture’s readiness to ascend steadily towards a higher status, both personally and in society. The painstaking pursuit is revered as an honorable symbol of growth.

Baishuizhai, a breathtaking waterfall located two hours north of Guangzhou, hosts South China’s first mountain step path. Totaling nearly 10,000 stairs, the trail is far from a leisurely walk, though visitors are free to stop and turn back at any time.

At 4,999 paces, the footpath fades into the shores of a tranquil mountain lake, where most hikers call it a day. Those who press onward towards the 9,999th step, it is said, will find everlasting love – a legend derived from the auspicious digit ‘nine,’ which shares its pronunciation with ‘久’ (jiu), meaning ‘a long time.’

Eight-hundred meters below, the trek commences on a road crammed with makeshift tourist stalls: visors, sunhats and fedoras are scattered atop tables clothed in red. Water bottles are sold at about twice their normal cost at the foot of the mountain and rise in price with altitude.

Upon passing a lake dipped in shades of winter green, visitors cross through the park gate towards a child’s paradise. A bubbling stream churns around smooth boulders just large enough for a toddler to mount or his parents to sit down for a rest. Tree houses line the creek, their trunks smeared in abstract murals. Most youngsters won’t venture beyond this point, settling into a day of crayfish

spotting instead.

After a level 10-minute walk, the path splits into two: a scenic route with plank bridges and a narrow passageway of steps.

Knowing stairs will dominate the upper sections of the trail, we turn gratefully onto the scenic course.

On a Sunday morning, the trail is packed with couples, young and old, eager to reconnect with the sounds of nature. Few are dressed for the occasion – women trudge along in heels and men sport flip-flops nearly 5 kilometers up. No one seems phased by the fact that a jolly afternoon stroll turned out to be a rigorous three-hour hike.

The waterfall, which is visible from nearly every point on the trail, is divided into three main sections: an upper falls said to resemble a dancing dragon, a middle cascade that hangs like a silk curtain and a lower one that glistens like white pearls scattered in the woods. From each lookout platform on the rickety boardwalk, the falls loom robustly overhead, plunging down outside the railings in a thundering mist. A veil of lime sprigs and moss bathe in the endless spray.

Each 100th step is engraved with the total distance traveled, ensuring hikers won’t lose count during the climb. All throughout the demanding course, crowds gather outside beverage stalls and restaurants serving hard-boiled tea eggs and instant noodles. Ice cream bars sell faster than Gatorade.

The last kilometer concludes as the trail began – flat. As our leg muscles adjust to the new gradient, we snap photos of exotic vegetation, eager to catch a glimpse of the fabled lake.

Emerging from the forest into blinding

sunlight, one final set of stairs appears, scaling a grassy hill. It’s so theatrically steep we can’t quite see what lies beyond, like a cliffhanger on the last page of a novel. All we can do is trudge upward, rung by rung, towards higher ground.

ake no mistake: knits are different from jumpers. Jumpers are what you keep stuffed in a big drawer; knitwear is what you hang in your wardrobe. Jumpers are practical; knitwear has a crisp-winter-walk, hotchocolate-and-mulled-wine lifestyle thing going on. A mum-knitted cardi or a soft, ribbed knit is basically a portable hug. So this month, we’ve selected the top knits to see you through the cold months. From hot orange to homespun and textured, let them shape your look this autumn.

T

he Prince of the Thirteen Peaks Each dawn, the faithful and tourists alike assemble at Feilai Temple to watch the sunrise illuminate the sacred Meili Snow Mountains. When the first sunrays light the crests, pilgrims and hikers gasp in unison, inhaling the cool, thin air and breathtaking views.

The 13 snow-capped summits are some of the most spectacular in China and revered in Tibetan Buddhism. Tallest among them is

3 0 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

the ‘Prince of the Thirteen Peaks,’ Kawagebo, “the most glorious peak my eyes were ever privileged to see,” according to early American explorer Joseph Rock. At 6,740 meters, the lofty apex of the Meili Snow Mountains is one of the few mountains in the world that has never been climbed.

The pyramidal pinnacle is an angular ‘horn’ chiseled out by glaciation, reminiscent of the smaller Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps.

The panoramic views are so awe inspiring that the devout prostrate themselves to

crawl the 150 kilometers to circumambulate the mountain range.

The influx of tourism to the area is making a once isolated pilgrimage, only for the pious, accessible to more than just adventurous trekkers. The 3,360-meter-high viewing platform from Feilai Temple looks over a steep precipice, down into the headwaters of the Mekong River, then rises to green, Ice Age, glacier-carved valleys. Here, Yubeng village (雨崩村) is nestled at the foothills of jagged, eternally snowy massifs.

Hiking the Meili Snow Mountains

by Peter Fenton

U

pper and Lower Yubeng Village In James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon, the fictional land of Shangri-La is described as a green mountain valley, cut off from the rest of the world. Inside this fabled paradise is, so the narrative goes, a lamasery where people live in a tranquil state of happiness.

The tantalizingly obscure location of the fabled paradise has since been claimed by many for its tourism value, and in 2001, the town formerly known as Zhongdian was renamed Shangri-La, reputing to have inspired Hilton’s tale.

A short bus ride from this new ShangriLa is the ‘Little Potala Palace,’ which has the attributes of the Tibetan monastery detailed in the classic novel. Hilton partly drew from Joseph Rock’s accounts of the Meili Snow Mountains for his vision of a lost world with breathtaking natural scenery.

Arguably more inspiring than these would-be relics of Shangri-La, however, is a visit to Yubeng. There is no vehicular access to the village, other than the occasional local’s motorbike, and most go on foot or by mule, adding to the rustic charm. It could be a hiker’s utopian paradise, though more likely than reaching nirvana is a mild case of altitude sickness during the journey over the Nanzheng Pass.

Across the Mekong from Feilai Temple, the excursion to Yubeng starts at Xidang Village – and can be grueling. The altitude rises sharply from Xidang Hot Springs (2,680 meters) to the pass (3,680 meters), and the 12-kilometer walk will test even the fittest city slicker’s lung capacity. Dishearteningly, acclimatized Tibetan seniors seem to bound up the steep col in the UNESCO-listed Meili Snow Mountains reserve.

It takes over five hours to reach the top of the pass on the well-blazed trail, even with your packs transported by mule in advance, but the exuberating view of Yubeng encompassed by the Meili Snow Mountains is a relief from China’s sprawling mega cities.

The twin Tibetan hamlets of Upper and Lower Yubeng straddle either side of a ranging meltwater mountain stream. Fresh, ice-cold waters and caravans of mules ferrying supplies to Yubeng make the village resemble a Tibetan version of Tolkien’s Shire.

All food and accommodation in Yubeng are seasonally priced, and high transportation costs should be expected to and in the park. Plus, additional insurance and management surcharges on top of ticket prices can add up (also, there’s limited amounts of hot water and intermittent electricity supply). After the arduous climb over the Nanzheng Pass, the best homestead accommodation for international travelers is the Yak Butter Inn in Upper Yubeng.

The physical barriers posed by the raging waters of Yunnan’s rivers and impregnable mountain ranges have given rise to distinctive ecology in each of the valleys. The reserve protects the unique flora and fauna inhabiting seven distinct climate zones as they scale the sheer precipices of the earthly Shangri-La. As part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Area, it is a hotspot for biodiversity. It’s hot and dry along the gorge, with coniferous forests along the pass; around Yubeng is highland prairies, humid evergreen broad-leaf forests, tundra and alpine regions.

inghu: Glacier Lake The hike out of Upper Yubeng’s agricultural land is short, passing into pristine, dewy montane woodland. En route, the stones from the freezing streams are piled up by pilgrims into stupas, making the path feel like an enchanted forest.

The trail climbs the lip of a ‘hanging’ glacial valley before the tree line thins to an alpine pasture towards Glacier Lake, which sits at 3,920 meters. It’s a much more pleasant hike than over the pass, with a mountaintop teahouse with yak steak and milk as a welcome respite. The grassland abruptly ends with rocky escarpment and a harder climb up over a bluff.

This ascent reveals a moonscape pool of water, in a glacial-carved cirque, fed by meltwater from creaking ice masses, which perilously hang above. One of the exquisite delights of reaching the scoured boulders of Glacier Lake is the small flowers sprouting from between the stones.

henpu: Sacred Waterfalls The trail from Lower Yubeng leads to the pilgrim path to Shenpu (3,650 meters).

There are flocks of smiling faithful that vigorously climb a stiffer route, in order to bathe in the Sacred Waterfalls (as they are known in English), an amazing cultural site of Tibetan Buddhist ritual.

Instead of walking up the valley from Lower Yubeng, there is a seldom-visited, steady 20-kilometer climb (for the strongest hikers or the most prepared) to the even loftier Sacred Lake (4,350 meters). At a considerably higher altitude, the less forgiving terrain requires an overnight camp on the alpine meadow to reach this holy grail.

M

ingyong: A Sacred Glacier For a day trip from Feilai Temple, stroll through another valley that leads to Mingyong Glacier. Access to the nearby village of the same name is by a bumpy road, and hiking is now easier with a golf cart ride halfway along.

Zigzagging down the steep side of Prince Peak, Mingyong is the glacier with the lowest elevation and altitude in China, though ravaged by climate change. According to a Nature.org article, in the late 1800s its tongue was near Mingyong village. However, it has since receded about 2.7 kilometers up the mountain.

The revered ice mass is about 4 kilometers long and varies between 30 to 80 meters in width, descending to an elevation of 2,650 meters. A warning to would-be adventurers, there is also a plaque dedicated to the 17 Chinese and Japanese climbers who lost their lives in an avalanche, in an ill-fated attempt to scale the mountain in 1991. Fatalities such as these have ensured that, while parts of the Meili Snow Mountains are now more accessible than ever, some will remain forever out of reach and unprofaned.

A Note on Geography • Yubeng is in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest Yunnan, about a five-hour bus ride north of ShangriLa. As such, overnight stay is generally required at either Feilai Temple or Deqin County. The upgraded Yunnan-Tibet Highway has made the final leg of the journey smoother, though the hairpin turns are no less scary.

• The Meili Snow Mountains are a geological buckle in the earth’s surface, a fold formed when the seabed rose as the subcontinent tectonic plate collided with the Asiatic plate.

• Part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas, the Meili Snow Mountains are located along the Old Tea and Horse Trail to Tibet. The Mekong (Lancang), Yangtze (Jinsha) and Salween (Nujiang) cascade down from the Tibetan plateau through northern Yunnan.

• A popular tourist trek is to follow part of the Old Tea and Horse Trail from Dali via Lijiang to Shangri-La, or to go from northwestern Sichuan to Shangri-La. However, it is well worthwhile adding the Meili Snow Mountains to the itinerary, especially considering the old town in Shangri-La tragically burnt down in 2014.

To celebrate, they’re offering a three-month trial membership to Apple Music, which features millions of songs in its catalogue, including exclusives with the likes of Taylor Swift. Music licensing deals are more important than ever after a recent government order banning streaming of unlicensed music.

China’s biggest hope to bag their first Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film took a hit after last-minute changes to requirements. Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Wolf Totem was deemed ineligible due to not having enough Chinese nationals on its creative staff. The hit film can take solace in the recent Golden Rooster Award it won for Best Film.

Storm Brewing

The Top Acts Electrifying Festival's Debut

by Matthew Bossons

W

ith more than 30 renowned DJs and 50,000 electro-heads in attendance over two days, this year’s Budweiser Storm Festival in Shanghai will be remembered as one of China's biggest parties. Hopes are running high that November’s Shenzhen edition will share similar success.

Shenzhen is admittedly less used to the scale of event that Shanghai regularly hosts, but that doesn’t mean we’re expecting any fewer flashy, robot-like costumes or shirtless guys flaunting their abs and tribal tattoos at

Storm’s southern debut. Plus, the tropical China coastline is also unlikely to experience the kind of heavy rains that turned Shanghai’s festival into a mud pit – though some might say that’s a bad thing!

“The diverse crowd here really goes to show how popular electronic music has become,” said Chris Wu, a university student from Shenzhen who was among the Shanghai attendees. “The difference in ages and styles here shows that this kind of music is popular in China now – just like in America and Europe.”

Afrojack

A Grammy-winning DJ and producer, Afrojack is one of the world’s most celebrated EDM artists. At only 27 years old, he has been credited with helping propel electronic music into the mainstream through collaborations with notable artists like Sting, Snoop Dogg and Jared Leto.

Nationality: Dutch Accolades: 2011 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording; number six on Forbes 2014 list of the world’s highest paid DJs Must hear track: ‘Last Night’

Kaskade

A household name on the EDM scene, Kaskade has received four Grammy nominations: Best Dance/ Electronica Album (2013 and 2014), Best Dance Recording (2014) and Best Remixed Recording (2015). Most recently, he is hot off the heels of a successful two-weekend stint at the iconic Coachella Valley Music Festival in California.

Nationality: American Accolades: American’s Best DJ 2011 and 2013 (also placed in the top five of the fan poll for 2009 and 2010) Must hear track: ‘Lessons in Love’

Showtek

This celebrated Dutch electro-house duo began composing music in 2001 and is comprised of brothers Sjoerd (aka Duro) and Wouter Janssen (aka Walt).

Although Showtek has well over a decade of tracks and performances under their belt, the gruesome twosome didn’t make it big until 2012 with the release of ‘Cannonball.’ On top of producing their own music, Showtek has been credited with producing tracks for a number of notable international acts, including Tiesto and Chris Brown.

Nationality: Dutch Accolades: Hard Dance Awards Best Album (2009), Hard Dance Awards Best European Producer (2009), Hard Dance Awards Best European Hardstyle DJ (2008 and 2009) Must hear track: ‘Cannonball’

Fedde le Grand

A regular name on the international festival circuit, this 38-year-old Dutch DJ is known for remixes of popular artists, including (but certainly not limited to) Coldplay, Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams and Fatboy Slim.

Fedde le Grand has also spent nearly a decade on DJMag’s prestigious top 100 list.

Nationality: Dutch Accolades: MTV Award for Best Breakthrough (2007); MTV Australia Award for Best Dance Video (2007) Must hear track: ‘Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit’

It’s a sentiment echoed by Don Diablo, a popular Dutch DJ and producer who performed at Budweiser Storm Shanghai. “I don’t really notice a big difference between European, American and Chinese crowds,” he noted after his gig.

Round two of Budweiser Storm crashes into Shenzhen November 21-22. To give you an idea what you can expect (aside from food vendors, beers and bros), we have assembled an artist rundown, showcasing the four hottest acts announced so far.

n Shenzhen’s original music scene, postrock bands appear like the city’s skyscrapers: slow buildup with an epic conclusion. Yet only one of them is just women: the demure Salty Air. Made up of guitarists Iris He and Patty Zhuang, bassist Jane Ye and (the perhaps misnamed) String Chen on the drums, Salty Air met through mutual friends and connected over their love of post-rock. They formed in August of 2014, intentionally as an all-girl band. Some might call it gimmicky, others daring in a male-dominated world. We asked He to expound on the band’s process, name and aspirations in anticipation of their upcoming set at the Honey Lake Music Festival.

Why did you choose the name Salty Air? As a coastal city, Shenzhen’s air feels moist and salty, and post-rock music makes us think about the sea – vast and quiet. Salty Air is like wind coming from the sea, enlight-

What appeals to you about post-rock music over other kinds of music?

We think post-rock music creates an emotional atmosphere and conveys strong feelings. No matter if you feel happy or sad, you’ll find yourself standing in the middle of whichever scene the song creates.

Salty Air

Some Kind of Meditation

and ‘Tempo.’

What is the songwriting process like for you?

Our guitarists will write down the structure of the song. Then the others will add their thoughts when we have our practices.

What inspires you to write songs?

We are always inspired when we hang out with the people we love… Also, thinking about nature when we listen to our favorite band’s music – like the ocean, the forest and the sky. The process feels like some kind of meditation.

by Christine Gilbert

What do you hope to achieve with your music?

We hope our band will be together as long as possible and be able to play music any time we want. We want to put out an album in the future and have our own tour, too.

What are some of the favorite songs you’ve written?

‘First Rays of the Morning Sun,’ ‘All the Goodliness I Can Think About is You,’ ‘Desire’

In addition to presenting his phenomenal fare to T’ang Court diners, Chef Tsang will share with guests some of his secrets to unlocking the essence of Cantonese cuisine

with his master class.

Currently, Chef Tsang serves as the master chef of Chinese cuisine for the Langham Hospitality Group. Prior to that, he was the executive chef at Ming Court, the signature Chinese restaurant in Cordis Hong Kong (formerly Langham Place, Mongkok). His career spans over three decades in the gourmet food industry, and he is known by his peers and patrons for his hardworking nature and perseverance.

Frankenstein: The Monster and the Myth

TNT Theatre’s Twisted Gothic Comedy Creation

BY Andrew Chin

A

decade since bringing Oliver Twist to China, TNT Theatre is celebrated here for their stage adaptations of classic works. British royalty rewarded founder Paul Stebbings with an MBE for his cultural efforts, which include establishing a touring circuit from Beijing to Shenzhen. However, they’re breaking the mould with Frankenstein: The Monster and the Myth. Their first original show to be staged in China stops off at Shenzhen Children's Palace on November 29.

“Shakespeare, TNT and China have been a three-way marriage that has been something of a dream for the last decade!”

Stebbings says. “But outside of China, we offer a wider repertoire. Bringing Frankenstein is an experiment. We hope that it works so we can broaden the range of productions we bring here.”

Conceived out of a contest to see who could write the best horror story between Romantic-era legends Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori, Frankenstein was published in 1818.

Written by 20-year-old Mary Shelley, it is a pillar in Gothic and horror traditions, as well as a precursor to science fiction.

“I think the myth of Frankenstein is close to us in this digital age. Surely we 3 8 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

all feel that technology is out of control and worry about a future where humans may be dominated by our own creations,” Stebbings notes.

"Heart transplants are a normal part of modern life, but how will we feel about the first head transplant?”

Rather than simply adapt Shelley’s

We all feel that heart transplants are a normal part of modern life, but how will we feel about the first head transplant?

original, Stebbings and Phil Smith have created their own version. They describe their Frankenstein as “gothic comedy” rooted in the melodramatic tradition that produced Edgar Allan Poe, Dracula and Sherlock Holmes while incorporating laughs a la Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.

“Gothic comedy has the best of both worlds,” Stebbings explains. “It is funny but dark; stylized but heartfelt; frightening

but hilarious.”

Frankenstein features an electronic score by longtime TNT collaborator Paul Flush that Stebbings promises will “heighten the drama.” Sound effects like thunder crashing and the howling of giant dogs complement the music, adding to the show’s cinematic feel.

Veteran TNT actors like Gareth Fordred (Much Ado About Nothing), George McLean (Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew) and Monique Squeri will reprise their roles, with Stebbings noting that “comedy improves with repetition.”

“We know of no other version that attempts to mix the serious scenes in Mary Shelley’s novel with the comedic elements of the Boris Karloff films,” he adds.

“But we also ask some serious questions like what is the moral responsibility of science? ‘What can be done must be done’ is a dangerous statement and one that is questioned in the play. Plus, no one has dared to stage an ending like ours!” > gZ: Nov 27 at 7.30pm, Nov 28 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, rmb100-320. xinghai concert hall, 33 Qingbo lu, ersha island, yuexiu district 越秀区二沙岛晴波路33号 (020-8735 2222 ext. 886); SZ: Nov 29, 8pm, rmb80-300.

Small-town Boys, Big-time History

The 12 Sons of Fragrant Mountain who Changed China

by Tristin Zhang

T

and the creator of China’s retail industry.

Puzzled by the reason why these outstanding men had all come from what was then a small village, O’Neil set out to discover the secret to their success. His research revealed many fascinating stories, and he decided to whittle them into a neat dozen – all beginning in Tangjiawan, then a part of a city known as Xiangshan (香山), which literally means ‘Fragrant Hill.’ And voila, you have the book’s title!

Xiangshan no longer exists, having been rechristened Zhongshan in tribute to the Chinese name of Sun Yat-sen.

By referencing the Guangdong city’s old name in his book’s title,

4 0 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

O’Neil has symbolically brought the other famous inhabitants of Fragrant Hill out from beneath the shade of its favorite son.

The colorful portraits include Yung Wing, born into a poor fisherman’s family, who received a scholarship to study in Macao. He later set sail for America, where his diligence at schoolwork saw him become the first Chinese person to attend Yale. While there, he supported himself by waiting tables, doing laundry and working as a librarian.

Though he gained US citizenship in 1852, the turmoil caused by the Taiping Rebellion called him back to his native land.

There, he realized that only through education could China

be transformed for the better.

One of Yung’s greatest achievements was the Chinese Education Movement, where 120 Chinese students were sent to study in the US. After returning, they made exceptional contributions to China’s railway infrastructure, commerce, diplomacy and military. In this regard, Yung is without a doubt the pioneer who introduced modern education to the country.

The Second Tang Dynasty narrates in plain language 12 revolutionary personages. Their stories are as detailed as they are stimulating, and the clear interconnection in their lives between China and the West is as relevant today as it was more than a century ago.

The past 30 years have seen hundreds of thousands of students from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan seeking education abroad. They experience life in a developed society and face the same questions Yung Wing, Tang Shaoyi and even Sun Yatsen faced decades ago: do I stay and make a new life or go back to reform my home country?

Photos of Chinese Education Movement students

he final stages of the Qing dynasty were a significant turning point in China’s history. As the Opium Wars devastated the pride and power of the country and its people, many a titan began to emerge to realign the course of the nation, paving the road for their motherland to start out on the long journey towards modernization.

Most notable among these great figures was Sun Yat-sen, known as the ‘founding father of the Republic of China,’ who led the Middle Kingdom out of the imperial era. There were many others, however, who today are not as well known at home and abroad; who also made great achievements in a time of unrest marked by war, civil turbulence and regime change.

British author, journalist and lecturer Mark O’Neil has attempted to bring some of those people to light in his book, The Second Tang Dynasty: The 12 Sons of Fragrant Mountain Who Changed China. A resident of China for more than 16 years, it was his Cantonese mother-in-law who inspired the idea. One night at the dinner table, she began telling tales from her childhood in Tangjiawan town: peeping at a Japanese soldier as he showered; exchanging pleasantries with her celebrated neighbor, Tang Shaoyi.

Embarrassed by his ignorance, O’Neil returned home and sat down at his computer to learn more about this Tang Shaoyi his mother-in-law was so proud of knowing, only to discover that the obscure personage was actually China’s first prime minister.

Digging a little deeper, he was surprised to find that the town of Tangjiawan had fostered a number of great men, among them the first Chinese person to study Western medicine, the first principal of Tsinghua University

But when I asked him to pose for a photo he did this really serious face, so he looks like a mobster (or a pimp, which is even more appropriate for his kind of job). This market isn’t the easiest place to shoot because it’s quite personal – there are parents looking for partners for their kids. So it was nice to get a guy who was like ‘sure, bring it on – take a photo.’

aining 24,000 Instagram followers in four months is something of an achievement. Doing so organically – without ever being one of the social media site’s ‘suggested users’ – makes the feat even more impressive. But photojournalist Kevin Frayer, a co-founder of the Eyes on China Project (@eyesonchinaproject), seems more excited by an email he’s just received from a follower.

“Hi, I’d just like to say that I think the project is a fantastic idea,” he reads aloud from his phone.

“Many people, especially where I come from in Scotland, have a very stereotypical view of China. They picture it to be very industrial and are only aware of the touristy spots shown in the media. However, the images in your project help show China in a completely different light, which should hopefully refresh some opinions.”

“I can go a month without writing a message that long to my mother,” Frayer jokes.

The email perfectly encapsulates the Canadian’s hopes for the project. Along with fellow co-founder Fred Dufour, Frayer has brought together “20-something” professional photographers from across the country to present a more nuanced view of life in China. From intimate portraits of the mentally ill to street scenes in first-tier cities, the contributors’ portraits offer a range of perspectives arguably unparalleled in traditional media.

“When I was a consumer of images from China from the outside, the standard view was always something very austere – or just people walking past a Mao portrait,” explains Frayer, whose career has seen him win a World Press Photo Award and a Pulitzer Prize nomination. “There is this very narrow picture of China that so many people have.

“As a photojournalist working here, I understand you have to take those kinds of pictures sometimes – because it’s National Day or the marathon. But beneath that tiny layer there are so many more incredible layers. There was

Wondering why he’d asked, I inquired about the difference. He said: "There's no difference. There shouldn't be. My former employer once told me: 'Don't think of yourself as a migrant worker. You're a worker.' For me they are equal.”

The project’s success may stem, in part, from the diversity of its contributors. Hailing from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and beyond, the group brings together professionals from across the newspaper, newswire and videoproduction industries. The foreignto-Chinese ratio is evenly split at present, but the founders hope to tilt the balance toward mainland photographers when the project gains more industry recognition (“the last thing we ever want this to be is White Guys’ Eyes on China,” Frayer stresses).

While the feed occasionally touches on the daily news cycle (relatives of MH370 victims or the caged rabbits used to test toxicity after the Tianjin blast, for instance), the majority of images show everyday scenes from the mainland. Some are urban, others rural. Some are intimately human, while others put humanity to scale.

Some are one-offs – standalone images that simply caught the eye – while others are shots from contributors’ own projects, such as Beijing-based Zhang Lijie’s collection on rare diseases like albinism. This variety is a direct result of the founders’ decision to put as few restrictions on their photographers as possible, Frayer explains.

“We started this as an exercise in photography. There’s no grand vision. We don’t curate it, and there are no regulations other than basic journalistic ethics and a standard of photography that is of a certain level.

That’s it. We’re letting everyone take it wherever it wants to go. The only thing we ask our contributors to do is communicate and post pictures on the feed more than an hour apart from one another.”

The photographers in the project seem motivated by the chance to collaborate with likeminded people (or, as Frenchman Gilles Sabrie tells

@yuyang_liu

me of his reasons for joining the project: “Being a photographer can be a lonely life!”). Wider audiences and potential commissions may sweeten the deal, but Frayer believes they are attracted to “a non-competitive place in a competitive industry.”

As for the two co-founders’ motivations? It is testament to their simple passion for Eyes on China that they take two hours from their work schedules (with Getty Images and Agence France-Presse respectively) to talk with me about an Instagram feed. But that is perhaps also a testament to the importance of social media in modern photography. Instagram, which turned 5 last month, has had a transformative effect on the way people take and consume photos, Frayer argues.

“Visual media has never been more important than it is right now. It might not be so lucrative, but it’s more sought after – people are thirsty for it.

When your 70-year-old mother has an Instagram account and she’s putting a Hudson filter on her picture from the lake in the summer…” he pauses, perhaps carefully choosing words about his mother. “It doesn’t mean that it’s a great picture, but it’s interesting to see somebody explore something that they otherwise wouldn’t.”

It is this very democratization of photography which may attract criticism for accounts like Eyes on China. The fact that Instagram is currently blocked on the mainland may pose the most obvious threat to the project’s growth, but there is another possible critique: that using industry-standard DSLRs and then uploading the pictures undermines the instantaneous, layperson principles that the service was built on.

“Normally there’s no heavy filters but they still work,” argues Dufour, the quieter of the pair.

“We’re all professionals, so it’s

These two men were fishing in the pond of Xian Village, which is in the center of Guangzhou. There has been a conflict between locals and real estate developers for more than seven years because of the unequal compensation and the corruption of the village’s leaders. Xian epitomizes modern China.

It was my second time visiting the village, and the pond and buildings were still there as before. When I climbed on top of a mountain of bricks I saw the two men fishing in the pond. The old buildings, and the high modern ones behind them, made for a huge contrast. People are really living in this environment.

I took this in Yushu, Qinghai. The city was half-empty because everyone had gone to pick up cordyceps – a caterpillar fungus used in Chinese medicine. We met a trader who took us to meet some nomads collecting the fungus, while in the town we found the market where it is sold.

I needed to show the money – because this stuff sells for a lot. But I also wanted to show that it is the intermiddle-man, who is obviously not a nomad, and beside him you have the nomads looking at the money with envy.

out of respect for the pictures and respect for the feed.”

“It’s all very straight and I like that. It’s done with no smoke and mirrors,” Frayer adds. “Plus, I would actually say that 80 percent of what I post is with my iPhone. The quality of the images on the iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy is like ten times than that one,” he says, motioning toward my battered 4S. Exactly where the project goes from here is uncertain. Neither Frayer nor Dufour had foreseen the explosion of followers. In any case, their handsoff approach means that the project’s future is not just up to them, but the group. As well as adding more photographers from different parts of China to help reach further into the country, an exhibition is also in the works. Neither this nor the pursuit of more followers is the real objective, says Frayer, though the latter may be beyond his control.

“The goal isn’t to have a million followers. It’s great if we do, but if we have a million followers and

“Anyway, the whole reason why we started this thing is that there are these huge parts of the country that just aren’t a part of China’s visual narrative. And it’s not just China.

Or look how the North Korea narrative is always about people on the subway, when actually there’s everyone from farmers to people living in buildings that don’t look much different from Central Park.

GIVES Celebrates 20

Fair to Reach New Heights at the Canton Tower

by Matt Horn

T

wenty years ago a group of expats in Guangzhou gathered together and decided they wanted to give something back to the province that had made them so welcome. It was then that the Guangdong International Volunteer Expat Service, aka GIVES, was born, and giving back has been its mission ever since.

The annual highlight for the charity group is always the GIVES International Food and Fun Fair. To make the 20th anniversary special, on Saturday, November 28, they will be hosting the biggest and best event yet. That is because GIVES has teamed up with the Canton Tower to secure an incredible venue on the outside plaza on the second floor of the city’s most iconic building.

Along with marking two decades of fundraising, the Canton Tower will switch on its 2015 Christmas lights display as darkness falls. Once that ceremony has been held, there will also be a classical music concert, with the proceedings finally closing around 9pm, making it the longest GIVES festival in its proud history.

GIVES President Rosaline Yam, one of the founders two decades ago, says: “It is a great venue that offers us the chance to get more people involved, offer an even greater range of food and fun, and reach out to the whole community here in Guangdong, both locals and expats.

“At GIVES we have the motto of working ‘hand in hand,’ which means we want to

5 0 n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 | S Z | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

work together with the local community to continue to make a real difference.

“Our current focus is to make a difference in the way autism is treated here in China, and we have seen great steps forward in the past couple of years. Conferences have brought international experts and volunteers to support management, trainers, parents and of course children. Our upcoming projects will focus on the development of longterm autism education and clinical training programs to include undergraduate training for both teachers and for parents.”

In terms of support, GIVES works closely with all parts of the international community, from the consulates general to international schools, from chambers of commerce to church groups. Through these contacts they attract a wide range of participants to deliver the fantastic food and great entertainment to ensure the fair is one of the most popular social events on the Guangzhou calendar.

The cross-cultural element is obvious both on and off the stage, as last year’s extravaganza once again proved. Visitors could devour everything from French crepes to cupcakes, Thai food to curry, delicious pasta to fish and chips, provided with support from the likes of Chez Max, DoubleTree

by Hilton, Bangkok Bar, Wilber’s, Oggi and Happy Monk. All of this was complemented by a range of beers and wines from around the world.

On stage there will also be a truly in-

ternational flavor. Last year attendees witnessed Spanish music, baroque orchestra, Indonesian and salsa dancing, muay Thai boxing and gospel singing. A similar mix is guaranteed this month, with the international schools in the city lending their support with choirs, bands and musicians ready to entertain and display their talent.

After the successful visit of an Australian ‘kangaroo’ last year, plans are to welcome a koala this time around. There will be a wide range of sports activities, including Australian AFL, NZ Rugby, mini marathon, and ‘power’ training performances.

Always among the highlights are the performances from some of the youngsters that GIVES works so hard to support. In 2014 the orchestra from one of the local disabled schools brought the house down with their first public performance featuring music from the Lion King.

And with the Christmas lights to be turned on, don’t bet against a repeat appearance from Santa Claus, who made his debut last time around.

Raising money for charity has never been more fun, so make a date in your diary and make sure you are at the Canton Tower on November 28 to eat, drink and enjoy a very merry Christmas experience. > Nov 28, 11am-9pm, rmb20/adult, rmb10/child. if you are

interested in either performing or having a stall, all details can be found and contact made via the charity’s website: www.gives.cn

Animal Rescue

How to Save a Stray in Shenzhen

by Natallia Slimani

L

ots of animals find themselves in trouble in China. Chances are most of us have seen a stray animal that is hungry, sick or abused at least once during our stay in this tropical paradise. Without getting into the events that lead up to it or the emotions that the situation evokes, a simple and painfully practical question arises: what can I do to help?

The truth is, helping out an animal in a foreign and expensive city, especially if your knowledge of the language is limited to ordering noodles, is a formidable task. It is not to be taken lightly, as we all know that our small act of kindness comes with a big chunk of responsibility. Knowing what to do, who to turn to and what you and your furry friend are in for will give you more confidence and help you move ahead.

So what do you do if you want to help out a stray animal?

1) Even if the animal you are looking at seems perfectly healthy, a trip to the vet is essential. You will need to check if it has all the necessary vaccinations and discover whether there are any underlying conditions that require treatment. The problem is vet clinics in Shenzhen are expensive. More than that, some veterinarians will start by writing up a bill without even looking at the animal first.

Luckily, there is a practice known as “compassionate discount.” For instance, Doctors Beck & Stone vet clinic, within the

framework of their Pet Rescue Program, will offer you a different price list for a pet that you are trying to save. You will still need to pay, but the sum will be significantly smaller.

2) After you have ensured that your new friend is doing well, the next query is: where will your companion stay? It’s great if you are willing to welcome a pet, but what if you already have a few or your current situation does not allow for full-time care?

Once again, we have to come back to the uncomfortable truth about how expensive pet services are in the city. A fancy hotel (yes, that’s real) will charge you RMB200 a day for rooming your pet, while the cheapest option will be around RMB50 (for a medium-sized dog, including your supply of food and two walks a day).

The reality is that there is very little actual difference between the options. In an RMB200 hotel, your pet will still get two walks a day and will need you to take care of the food and a blanket, as the extra money seems to be meant entirely for the fancy decor. So, let’s take a look at what you could do: • RMB50 per day is still a hefty financial commitment, but could be a reasonable short-term solution. Check out Blue Spirit Pet Hospital chain.

• Post an advertisement. There are lots of like-minded people out there who are willing to help out. Posting an ad and outlining your situation can be quite effective in finding a long-term solution or, at least, a temporary

home.

• Start a community. There is power (and savings) in numbers. If you have a group of friends who share your lack of indifference to animals in trouble, it’s good to have each other on speed dial. This way, you can help out with animal housing or pitch in financially.

If you have picked up a kitten or a puppy, your situation is easier. Most pet shops will be willing to take the little fellow in with no cost to you and put them up for adoption.

3) Many other issues may pop up when taking care of an animal and you may also need local help. Shenzhen is a new city, and the situation with animal rights associations is not ideal. Nonetheless, there already are a few local organizations that can offer a bit of help. It’s certainly easier if you can recruit someone with good Chinese skills to guide you through the communication process, but some websites do have English versions: www.szadoptpet.com (English) sdpa.net.cn (Chinese) www.szcat.org (Chinese) www.szaipets.cn (Chinese)

Never feel afraid to reach out. Whatever the situation is, no matter how challenging it may look and how helpless you may feel, don’t be afraid to ask for support. This city is full of people who will respond to your call with the best of intentions, advice, wishes and help.

Girl Talk

The Quest for Equal Education Rights

by Lena Gidwani

I

t’s late 2012, and centered among a throng of mayhem and an overwhelming crowd of looming men stands a young, brave 15-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl named Malala Yousafzai. Her high-pitched voice explodes in protest with her unwavering belief and indignation as she demands a very simple thing: the right of all young girls to an education. She’s determined to be heard loud and clear, but the response almost proves fatal. She’s shot in the head by Taliban gunmen.

Nine months after being airlifted to England for treatment, this heroic young lady addresses the United Nations. She has a much larger stage than she could ever have imagined. Fast-forward to 2015, and just last month, an inspiring documentary by David Guggenheim titled He Named Me Malala hits cinema screens across the globe to approving audiences. It stirs emotions and once again brings to light a topic that has been on the minds of many: why is access to education for girls still more limited than boys?

According to a UNESCO and the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) report released this October to mark International Day of the Girl Child, less than half of the world's countries have achieved gender parity in schools. Even though the report claims that progress has been made overall – nations with the same amount of males and females in primary and secondary education rose from 36 to 62 – it also still found that only 50 percent of countries had equal numbers of boys and girls in lower secondary, while the figure for upper secondary was just 29 percent.

In China, the problem is most pronounced in rural areas and in ethnic minority communities. School completion rates for girls in these parts are lower than for boys due to poverty, low quality of education and gender attitudes. An estimated twothirds of China's school-age children who are not enrolled in school are girls. When they are enrolled, the girls are usually the first to drop out when economic pressures affect their families. Less than 50 percent of girls who graduate from primary school complete secondary education.

Girls of migrant families in big cities also face severe challenges in completing their basic education, with many choosing to become domestic or unskilled workers due to inequality of employment opportunities. In addition, the highly unbalanced sex ratio of 117 boys to every 100 girls highlights deeply embedded gender biases in China’s social and cultural milieu, which affect girls’ inclusion in education, especially at higher levels.

But rest assured, it’s not being ignored by those in power. In September of this year, China's first lady and UNESCO's special envoy for girls' and women's education Peng Liyuan delivered a speech at the Global Education First Initiative event at the United Nations in New York, stressing equality for all members of Chinese society and the key importance of education for females.

The end credits of He Named Me Malala notes that it was “inspired by the book I am Malala.”

Inspired is right. It just doesn't make sense to exclude our girls. It shouldn't. We should not be agreeing with archaic ways of thinking in this 21st-century world.

It's not fine to live with such staggering disparities while we have the technology, the will and a powerfully connected young generation ready and able to make a difference for their peers globally.

The CrossFit craze

Pushing Your Boundaries

by Lena Gidwani

C

rossFit is a strength and conditioning program built upon constantly varied, high-intensity functional movements to develop strength and increase endurance, preparing you for any physically demanding situation. Rather than working muscles in isolation, CrossFit exercises involve the entire body, a method that gets balanced results much quicker than traditional programs. It uses Olympic lifting progressions, basic gymnastic skills and high-intensity metabolic conditioning combined with many other movements.

In general, CrossFit workouts can be pretty brutal. They run the gamut from extremely easy to difficult, to utterly vicious and borderline insane. Regardless, all of these WODs (that's workout of the days) will challenge you as long as you are giving them your all. If you're curious and seek an improved you, it's worth it.

CITY SCENES Sofitel Star Chefs 2015

SCCSC/ISNS Fifth Annual Global Mental Health Day

One year after the successful 2014 Sofitel Star Chefs event, culinary stars are gathering again in Guangzhou for the 2015 edition, which will be held from December 9 to 11. At a press conference on October 16, Sofitel Guangzhou Sunrich announced that eight celebrated chefs from four countries will be whipping up divine cuisine during the three-day gourmet extravaganza, which will feature several Michelin star chefs and culminate in an Iron Chef-style battle finale.

On October 14, Shenzhen (Nanshan) Concord College of Sino Canada and the International School of Nanshan Shenzhen held a Global Mental Health Day event as part of an international campaign for mental health awareness. This year’s theme was “Understanding + Respect = Hope.” Students enjoyed interactive activities such as the balloon toss, free hugs and face painting, while senior pupils taught their younger peers how to release stress in beneficial ways. All proceeds from the event were donated to Spring Care.

Oktoberfest at Brotzeit

From October 9 to 11, Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant celebrated Oktoberfest in true Bavarian fashion. A German tradition which began two centuries ago, Oktoberfest can now be found all over the world, even in Shenzhen at one of Coco Park’s finest restaurants. The celebration combined live music, high-quality imported German beer and hearty food.

Nights full of laughter and happiness found patrons eating pork knuckles and sausages while dancing to folk music by German band Gauki's Bavaria.

EAt/drink GOSSIP This month we’ve seen a return to old favorites along with some innovation in the Shenzhen food and beverage sector.

Sea World now has its own Lu Patisserie, serving some of the best croissants and truffles in town, while Bionic Brew has reopened yet again, finding its legs back on its home turf of Baishizhou. We hear they have beer pong now and a beer/skills exchange.

Over in Houhai, Eqihub is serving decent coffee and offering patrons a chance to test out inventions by Shenzhen startups. The whole project takes up a renovated parking lot under the lake and even has roads to ride bicycles and scooters around the premises.

For those not wanting to play with toys while they eat, Coastal City now has Thai Up, a new joint with chefs all the way from Thailand running the kitchen.

Continuing to the edge of Nanshan, OCT-Loft also has some fresh faces, like She Xia. Its workers have been sighted selling glass bottles of chilled traditional tea as well as milk teas by the boxy red sculpture near Starbucks.

Further into the Loft, a new restaurant and bar has opened called (rather uncreatively) B1, with outdoor seating, fancy cocktails and lots of different colored lights.

Surprisingly, High-Tech Park also has a new spot that seems to have good Western food (at least based on the pictures). Not far from the metro, by the McDonald’s, Café Agréable serves espresso-based beverages, sandwiches and pizzas.

Hopping over to Futian, Japanese establishment Onikita echoes the style of the movie Shinya Shokudo. However, if funk, soul and jazz are what you’re craving, keep heading down the green line to Kerry Plaza and take the elevator up to the revamped Lavo (p70).

Off the Vine Erath Oregon Pinot Noir

W

hat is the best wine to pair with turkey?

While this may come a little late for Canadians, many a US citizen is pondering this Thanksgiving query. Of course, you should primarily consult your own (and guests’) preference, but there is one varietal that oenophiles commonly recommend to bring out the taste of your November feast: pinot noir.

Why, one might scratch one’s head in befuddlement?

Elementary, my dear reader!

Firstly, because pinot noir is often rich in berry aromas, which bring out the juiciness of the turkey and pair nicely with its quintessential accompaniment:

cranberry sauce. A touch of herbal notes highlight typical turkey seasonings like sage and thyme, while the bright acidity and mild tannins offsets the heavy Thanksgiving meal. There’s an underlying earthiness to the wine that insinuates itself nicely with fresh vegetables and stuffing.

A very American holiday should be paired with an American wine, and it just so happens that there is a state that is particularly famed for its pinot noir. Oregon may not be a big player in the wine scene generally, but it is a notable proponent of this grape – in fact, some argue that it produces the

best pinot noir in the New World.

Erath Winery has been honing its craft in the region since the late 60s. Its Oregon Pinot Noir has assertive cherry, raspberry and vanilla accents with just a whisper of smoke.

Stock up on a few bottles and let your guests enjoy the sweet entry, the plush mid-palate and the satisfying, lengthy finish while tucking into big helpings of turkey, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

HOT MEAT

Brazilian Beef Kebabs

By Christine Gilbert

S

ince time immemorial, man has put meat on a stick and roasted it. We still do the same thing today, only now we’re fancier. We wear better fitting clothes, write with letters and marinate things before we cook them.

South Americans, particularly Brazilians, seem to have found the right combination of spices, grilling time and even a specific cut of meat for optimal juiciness, the picanha. We brought in the experts from Latina for this recipe and feel confident our ancestors would approve.

If beef rump isn’t available at your local butcher, substitute lamb. Also, feel free to leave the marinade on longer than suggested for a richer and stronger taste.

Ingredients: 60ml extra virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove crushed 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 kg rump steak of beef cut into cubes

1 lemon cut into wedges 1 onion cut into squares 1 green bell pepper cut into squares 1 yellow bell pepper cut into squares 1 red bell pepper cut into squares 260g tortillas Sea salt Black pepper

Method: 1) Combine oil, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper in a glass or ceramic bowl.

2) Add beef and toss to coat.

Cover.

3) Place in the fridge for two to four hours to marinate.

4) Thread the beef onto skewers and alternate the peppers and onions between the chunks of meat.

5) Preheat the grill on mediumhigh and cook for two to four minutes on each side.

6) Serve with tortillas and a salad of your choice.

GEEK ZONE

eek Zone, the preferred hangout of Best Buy’s Geek Squad, has set up shop over in Coastal Rose Garden.

Just kidding, but honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised to find tech-savvy customers, entrepreneurs, inventers and other big brains seated at one of the many small circular tables clustered throughout the shop, sipping cappuccinos while talking marketing options.

With moderately priced menu items of average quality, Geek Zone will most likely flourish in Shekou – but not because of their food or coffee. The space’s strong suit is its networking function, linking potential investors and startups, as well as soon-to-beavailable legal consultations for businesses.

“We want to help young entrepreneurs to build up their own kingdoms,” William Tao, one of the venue’s owners, says of the cafe’s concept. Geek Zone also mildly caters to education with a built-in bookcase spanning the length of one wall, containing publications in both English and Chinese. Titles range from economics to fiction.

Food spans from typical Asian coffeehouse options, like the chocolate waffle (RMB35) with vanilla ice cream (RMB8), to more specialty items, like the British-style pastry chicken pie (RMB25). The former is not particularly good or bad, just standard bready chocolate with some whipped cream and chocolate sauce, while the latter could serve as a snack or possibly small lunch when combined with another menu item.

Also on offer is the “extreme” pizza (RMB75) with lots of meat and cheese on a medium-sized crust – but again, the dish tastes neither good nor bad, just average.

Notable qualities include efficient staff, outdoor seating, a comfortable couch and a midnight closing time. If you want to exchange name cards with fellow patrons and chat potential big business, come here. Just don’t expect to be overwhelmed by the food.

Price: Approx. RMB35-70 Who’s going: Young entrepreneurs, IT workers, workaholics Good for: Startups in need of investment, business advice, networking > no. 30, Phase 2, coastal rose garden, wanghai Lu, nanshan District 南山区望海路南海玫瑰园二期30号 (8607 0000)

Sexy Salad

Check Out the Cabbages on That!

by Christine Gilbert, photos by Elizabeth Perkins

S

henzhen’s getting healthier and more sensual (cue the Baywatch theme), especially since Sexy Salad’s slow-motion run into town. Located at the top of Central Walk next to Life Cali, the new green spot serves meal salads and cold-pressed juices.

Gym rats meet for dinner after working out, and healthy-living specialists network at the dark wooden tables.

The menu lists the calories, weight, protein, fat, carbs and fiber of each salad directly beneath the picture of the dish. Initially sexist sounding, choices come in “guy” or “girl” sizes. Management means well, as they try to portion out all of the ingredients based on differing dietary needs between men and women, but really anyone can order whatever salad they want.

We start with the quinoa okra beef with apple beetroot sauce (RMB78/large, RMB68/ small). Though we get the smaller option, it arrives in a large bowl full of Japanese beef, quinoa, purple sweet potato, okra, beets, lentils, mushrooms and flaxseed. All dressings come on the side here, and we eagerly pour some of the thick pink concoction on top of our greens. The lightly seasoned beef creates an overall sweet and savory flavor when combined with the delicate apple notes.

Next, we take a bite of the Inca quinoa

parmesan chicken salad (RMB58/large, RMB48/small), lightly drizzled with onion lemon olive oil dressing. The chicken has no bones or fat, comes barely seasoned and the consistency is tender yet chewy. The sweet potatoes add texture and a bit of starchy sweetness, while the dressing sits light and zesty on the palate.

After checking out the drink section to the side of the entrance, we open a bottle of almond milk (RMB28), which tastes much lighter and less fatty than most others we’ve tried. We also take a swig of the Rudy (RMB28) juice, thick and pulpy with beet, apple, lemon, ginger and carrot goodness.

As we take in the extremely vegetative interior, complete with chalkboard walls and pictures of people pursing athletic excellence, we notice a 21-day challenge ad on the wall.

HE FUTaNG VEGAN TEA CAFE

Buddha-ful

by Rose Symotiuk

T

hey say you fall in love when you least expect it, and so it happened with our new favorite restaurant in Shenzhen: He Futang Vegan Tea Cafe.

A Buddhist restaurant in Longhua that opened two months ago, it has a sizable menu of Chinese and Western favorites, all free of meat and dairy.

He Futang is about a 15-minute walk from Minzhi station in Longhua, the transition point where red taxis disappear and green taxis can’t take passengers into certain parts of Shenzhen. The adventurous will love it: every part of the walk from the subway bustles with busy middle-class life – until the turn into He Futang’s alley.

Serenity envelops the loose confluence of buildings surrounding it, and patrons

walk on elevated wooden boardwalks under beautiful red Chinese lanterns. The restaurant is in an area called 1980 Cultural Park, a Buddhist-themed development.

He Futang itself is hidden on the second floor, with the stairs directly to the right of the lantern-adorned entrance.

Meat lovers may not love this spot as much as we do. The chef is from up north (Dongbei), with dumplings being his specialty. Watch as staff roll the wrappers out by hand in the open kitchen, then order the mushroom (RMB28) or corn (RMB26) options. For those who want to learn how to make these nutritious and delicious morsels, they even offer classes, though instructions are all in Chinese.

Other amazing dishes here include a

huge mixed salad with nuts (RMB38), marinated tofu skin salad (RMB15), hand-rolled spicy noodles with cabbage (RMB28), fried potatoes (RMB18) and spicy Sichuan soup (RMB43).

However, our favorite thing here is a drink: warm rice milk with walnuts (RMB38/pitcher, RMB18/cup). It may sound strange, but it tastes like an amazing peanut butter dessert, and three cups of it go down easily.

The owner is a Guangdong native who used to be a very successful tea salesman.

He often sits at a gorgeous tea table and offers customers delicious brews after performing an elaborate tea ceremony.

The owner and staff are very serious about Buddhism. A large TV plays Buddhist teachings over the main table in the restaurant, and the staff will offer you literature and instructional DVDs. If you’ve never had a chance to meet extremely devout Buddhists, you should stop in here to experience the real thing and get some great food while you’re at it.

Price: Approx. RMB60 Who’s going: Vegans, Buddhists, adventurous expats Good for: Alternative milks, tea ceremonies > a203, bldg 1, Phrase 3, 1980 creative garden, minfu Lu, Longhua District 龙华新区民福路1980文化创意产业园三期一栋a203

Pearl Red

Baijiu’s Little-known Foe

By Matthew Bossons

P

earl Red is attempting to change China’s alcoholic beverage scene, one bottle at a time. Although you may not be familiar with the brand’s revered yellow wine, the liqueur boasts almost 500 years of history since it was first crafted in 1514 in Guangdong.

Today, Pearl Red continues to brew one of China’s most traditional forms of alcohol by hand.

Generally made from water, cereal grains, sorghum, millet and wheat or a jiuqu starter culture, yellow wine is better classified as a liqueur than a wine. And while it is sometimes loosely compared to baijiu, the beverage differs in that it is not distilled and contains less than 20 percent alcohol.

Pearl Red currently offers two varieties of this poetically celebrated drink, cleverly named Today and Tomorrow. Both are crafted in a similar fashion, whereby ingredients (differing slightly from those named above)

Mars Cai, Pearl Red’s co-owner and director

are loaded by hand into giant metal pots and simmered over burning sweet straw, according to Mars Cai, Pearl Red’s coowner and director.

When the liquid has been smoldered to perfection, it is separated into two layers – a clear deposit on top and a murky coating below. The clear layer is removed and will become Pearl Red’s commended elixir Today, while the darker layer is mixed with ginger to become the fruity and bold Tomorrow.

What sets these products apart from other boozy beverages made in China is that the whole process is essentially done by hand, which limits production to 300,000 bottles per year.

Both Today and Tomorrow are noted for having a sweeter taste than traditional yellow wine, earning the title ‘The ice wine of Chinese liqueurs.’

Currently sold in a number of supermarkets and restaurants across Guangzhou, Pearl Red sees the sky as its limit and aspires to become a household name in China before eventually extending its reach

Inspired by Spanish sangria, this cocktail truly warms the heart.

throughout the world.

“Our goal is to share traditional Chinese alcohol with younger generations and foreigners that may not be aware of yellow wine’s history,” explains Cai. “Many people in China are familiar with expensive French wine or Scottish single malt, but far less are familiar with high-quality, handcrafted Chinese offerings.”

Pearl Red’s dreams of global alcohol domination have, so far, met little resistance – a number of celebrated Bordeaux vintners praise the drink’s quality and taste.

“My trip to Bordeaux was very promising, with a number of notable winemakers expressing shock that this product came from China,” recalls Cai. “We are so happy to be sharing this traditional drink with a bit of modern flair.”

Lavo

Fresh and Funky

by Christine Gilbert

A

bove Lavo’s bar, a blue lady stares down with two pairs of eyes. Wings flutter around her and a trombone encircles her. Her name is Billie Holiday – as per Belgian artist Caratoes’ interpretation. It’s a fresh take on Lady Day and a direct representation of what Lavo has done: recreate itself.

In October, Lavo reopened in its original location in Kerry Plaza under the new direction of the Riverflow Investment Group (the guys behind Pepper and Shark). Smartly dressed waiters, creative cocktails and a speakeasy interior of well-placed low lighting, dark curtains and tucked away corners give the bar a moderately exclusive and definitely swanky vibe.

“For some clubs the band is the main part. For other clubs, it’s the DJ. Here it’s half-half,” Ray M, one of the creators of Lavo tells us, elaborating on their fusion concept. He cites a strong music team as being central to this idea, and he should.

On Stage

Jazzercise

everal years ago, Shenzhen only had a few spots to hear live music: Brown Sugar Jar, B10, a few bars in Coco Park and a few clubs in Shekou. Thankfully, we’ve caught up with the times and suddenly have a veritable cornucopia of choices to titillate our ears.

On Stage is the latest addition, appropriately located in a neighborhood that didn’t even exist two years ago. Seemingly overnight, the Keyuan Hi-Tech Park was built, just a five-minute walk down Xuefu Lu from Keyuan MTR exit A. Host to many tech companies like Seeed Studio, it also held the enormous Maker Fair earlier this year.

On Stage is a Bear’s Coffee cafe during the day, taking advantage of the thousands of workers craving caffeine and lunch in the neighborhood. Illy coffee is used for the brews, pairing well with food like the seafood spaghetti (RMB32), which comes Japanese-style, served with Kraft parmesan cheese and tabasco sauce. It’s weird but tasty – once you get used to it.

At night, Bear’s Coffee has partnered

Ekki, one of the masterminds behind Sunset Funk, are part of the staff, creating a versatile blend of funk, soul and jazz music; bringing years of experience in the industry with them.

Right now, the weekly lineup includes both foreign and Chinese musicians, with two DJs a night as well as three house bands throughout the week. Ray M plans on bringing in several international acts a month.

The night we go, the Kutimangoes, a Danish Afro-beat band, fill Lavo with West African melodies and jazzy originals.

While we boogie down, we drink the red carpet (RMB88), an awakening blend of rum, lime, passion fruit, pepper bitters and Tabasco sauce. Not for the weak, the drink tastes tart and stings a bit going down, but that’s why it’s so great.

We also sample the raspberry julep (RMB88), a mix of bourbon, cranberry juice, raspberry, lime and sugar, but overall find it a bit too sweet. Those wanting something classic should order the kir (RMB88): wine with a little creme de cassis which, though a bit flat, maintains a pleasant blackcurrant taste.

With its hip art, experienced music team and fruit cocktails, the future looks fresh and definitely funky.

Price: Approx. RMB176 for two drinks

with a local startup incubator to become a live music venue and bar. The two most popular cocktails are the Long Island iced tea and the Cuba libre (both RMB38). The latter is traditionally made with coke, rum and lime, but On Stage’s recipe is rum, rum and rum. If a pirate’s life is for you, it’s definitely a great cocktail (includes a slice of lime to fight scurvy).

Non-alcoholic fruity soda drinks (RMB35) taste brutally bitter, but perhaps that is what one is supposed to drink while listening to jazz?

The night we show up, a cool local jazz band plays, scatting in a mix of Chinese and English. They look devilishly handsome in their tailored suits. Clearly, the locals already know about the great rotation of live music all weekend as the joint is packed by 8.30pm.

As for On Stage’s aspirations, management hopes to keep hosting and supporting local acts while becoming a destination for great international groups touring the world.

Sicilia Bar & Club

Offers You Can't Refuse

By Ziyi Yuan

S

ince the day Sicilia Bar & Club opened last year, bar lovers and beer addicts have had an Italian-themed joint in which to enjoy Shenzhen nightlife.

Garden-lounge-style decor comprises the spacious outdoor deck: wooden furniture, a starry canopy of yellow light bulbs strung above the large bar and tables with lattice siding stand beside plush pillowed benches to achieve a relaxed yet ready-to-party vibe.

Some of the more interesting menu items are the hookahs with whole fruit. Pineapple (RMB280),

dragon fruit (RMB480) and other selections rest atop pre-flavored shisha for a fresh, tropics-infused taste. However, most wannabe Sicilians come here for the drinks.

The bar serves all kinds of cocktails and beers, with some of the menu favorites being the lychee cooler (RMB43), a combination of vodka with fresh lychee, and draft Stella Artois beer (RMB50).

As for food, they serve a variety of seafood barbecue skewers (RMB28-98) and several pizzas (RMB20/slice, RMB148/whole).

Hip-hop fans come on Monday nights to experience the old-school party, while the womenfolk wait until Wednesday, as they

can drink for free before 3am. Like many clubs, Sicilia also hosts a salsa party every Thursday, with a decent amount of dance space for those partner turns.

Patrons wanting to impress can rent an outdoor booth during the weekends or holidays for RMB1,200 minimum, which should be easy to rack up with two hookahs and a few drinks.

Most nights, the place is packed by 12am.

In fact, Sicilia’s been so successful since its opening, the only drink specials they offer are for their ladies’ night promotions, and by the looks of it, they won’t need to change that anytime soon.

Price: Approx. RMB80 per person Who's going: Partiers, salsa lovers, hip-hop dudes Good for: Dancing, fruit hookahs

The Ritz-Carlton Shenzhen’s New Fall Menu at Paletto

T

he Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen’s renowned Italian restaurant, Paletto, has launched the new autumn menu, created by Italian chef de cuisine Stefano Nicodemo. Entitled “Chef Stefano Nicodemo’s Feast for the Eyes,” the menu draws on basic Italian foods combined with international products for Italian contemporary cuisine.

Hearkening back to his hometown of Naples, Chef Nicodemo’s seafood dishes comprise much of the menu. Art and food combine in the black ink risotto with marinated calamari and sea urchin, which looks like an abstract painting as well as a succulent entree. The king crab salad exudes freshness and comes with green pea soup poured over tableside for a seemingly impossible balance of crunchy chilled greens and warm, soothing cream soup.

Paletto serves only the freshest seafood to their guests and import most of their fish and crustaceans live from Australia and the Netherlands.

Chef Nicodemo also prepares his pasta

with a creative twist, especially the pumpkin gnocchi with veal, parmesan cream and mushrooms. Soft chunks of gnocchi adorned with a beef demi-glace sauce and broccoletti combine for a rich flavor of savory beef with a mild cheesy taste. The dish itself bursts with bits of color, like a tiny field of wildflowers on the plate.

Another standout meat dish is the beef short rib, a salted, marinated and pressed cut. The thick serving comes with shallot confit and celeriac puree. Beforehand, the beef is cooked topside, creating a light, crispy layer to encompass the soft meat.

In addition to the autumn menu, Chef Nicodemo has also created a separate selection of white truffle recipes for a limited time.

“I am quite creative,” he says of his process. “I was not sure [whether] to become a chef or artist, and then I did both in college.” Thankfully, all of his many talents come together beautifully in this new menu. Enjoy them now at The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen.

Big Phil’s Final Fling

Evergrande on Cusp of Glory, Fuli on Cusp of Relegation

by Matt Horn

I

t was tense, it was tight and it was tough, but a 0-0 draw in Osaka was enough to ensure Guangzhou Evergrande reached the final of the Asian Champions League for the second time in three seasons. Defeat would have meant the season's end in October, but now a thrilling month awaits Hengda’s fans.

Last year was arguably the toughest in the long and illustrious career of the club’s Brazilian manager, ‘Big Phil’ Scolari. When he finally hangs up his clipboard and walks away from the dugout for the last time, there is no doubt that high on the list of memories will be the 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Germany in his country’s home World Cup. And while leading Guangzhou Evergrande to success in the ACL will be much nearer the bottom of any reflection on his life as a coach, there is no doubt he has a burning desire to follow fellow World Cup winner Marcello Lippi in seeing the club crowned champions of Asia.

There was a mixture of shock and bemusement when Scolari replaced Fabio Cannavaro mid-season, and success on the continental stage was seen as his minimum target. He is now just 180 minutes away from seeing Evergrande crowned Asian champions for the second time.

of two-time champions Al Hilal in the second leg of their semi-final.

Evergrande will travel to the UAE for the first leg on Saturday, November 7, with the perceived advantage of playing the second leg here in Guangzhou a fortnight later.

In my home country of the UK it is normal for fans of rival teams to support any other country in a big match. Both times Manchester United played Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final, the ABU (Anyone But United) brigade ensured most of the country was backing the Catalan club.

But here in China, the whole country was behind Evergrande when they triumphed under Lippi in 2013, and Evergrande can expect similar support this time around.

That is because football in China desperately needs a boost after another disappointing World Cup qualifying result last month: a 1-0 defeat in Qatar, controversial hosts of the 2022 tournament. The match left them third in their qualifying group and staring more disappointment in the face.

On November 17, China has a mustwin match in Hong Kong, which will be a notable clash – not least because it is the only international match I know of where only one national anthem will be played.

Guangzhou Taobao Evergrande: Sat, November 21 vs Al Ahli

Hong Kong held China to a potentially fatal 0-0 draw earlier in the campaign, and it is imperative that China claims three points to give themselves a chance of getting through to the next qualifying round.

That game follows five days after what should be a regulation victory over Bhutan, whom they thrashed 6-0 earlier in the tournament.

These key matches for China come at a bad time for Scolari, in the days between the two legs of the Champions League final. At least jet lag will not be an issue after playing in Hong Kong, but his concern will be more on getting his key players back safe and sound, rather than seeing China triumph.

On the domestic front, deadlines dictate that this column is being written before the dramatic climax to the Chinese Super League season, but with two games to go it does look as if it will be good news for Guangzhou at both ends of the table.

Evergrande’s four-point lead over Shanghai SIPG means only one win from those games would secure a remarkable fifth successive title.

Meanwhile, Dragan Stojkovic seems likely to lead Guangzhou Fuli to survival, albeit by the skin of their teeth. As you read this, both sides’ fate will be known, and here is hoping both sets of fans have been cracking open the champagne.
